Abstract

In a water-conducting arrangement ( 1 ), a holding lip ( 7 ) is integrally molded on an end ( 6 ) of the connecting hose ( 4 ), with the holding lip ( 7 ) engaging behind a hose receptacle ( 12 ) in order for the connecting hose ( 4 ) to be suspended.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A water-conducting arrangement ( 2 ), comprising:
 a functional unit ( 3 ); 
 a connecting hose ( 4 ) having an end ( 6 ) that faces the functional unit ( 3 ); 
 a molded holding lip ( 7 ) integrally configured on the end that faces the functional unit, and the holding lip ( 7 ) is suspended on a hose receptacle ( 11 ) of the functional unit; and 
 a radially acting tie ( 19 ) configured on the holding lip ( 7 ). 
 
     
     
       2. The water-conducting arrangement ( 2 ) as claimed in  claim 1 , the connecting hose ( 4 ) is made from a thermoplastics material. 
     
     
       3. The water-conducting arrangement ( 2 ) as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the hose receptacle ( 11 ) is open laterally, or in that the hose receptacle ( 11 ) is configured so as to be closed in an encircling manner. 
     
     
       4. The water-conducting arrangement ( 2 ) as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the radially acting tie ( 19 ) is formed by a rib ( 20 ) or a groove ( 21 ) on a lower side ( 18 ) of the holding lip ( 7 ). 
     
     
       5. The water-conducting arrangement ( 2 ) as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the holding lip ( 7 ) is pressed against a bearing face ( 22 ) on the hose receptacle ( 11 ). 
     
     
       6. The water-conducting arrangement ( 2 ) as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the bearing face ( 22 ) on the hose receptacle ( 11 ) is configured to correspond to the holding lip ( 7 ). 
     
     
       7. The water-conducting arrangement ( 2 ) as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the hose receptacle ( 11 ) has an encircling support disk ( 37 ) on which the holding lip ( 7 ) bears. 
     
     
       8. The water-conducting arrangement ( 2 ) as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a sealing face ( 25 ) configured on the end ( 6 ) of the connecting hose ( 4 ). 
     
     
       9. The water-conducting arrangement ( 2 ) as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising an axially acting sealing face ( 25 ) configured on an inflow side ( 26 ) of the holding lip ( 7 ), and an axially acting mating sealing face ( 27 ) configured on the functional unit. 
     
     
       10. The water-conducting arrangement ( 2 ) as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a radially acting sealing face ( 25 ) configured on a neck ( 38 ) which on an inflow side ( 26 ) projects beyond the holding lip ( 7 ). 
     
     
       11. The water-conducting arrangement ( 2 ) as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising an encircling rim ( 30 ) of an entry opening ( 29 ) on the end ( 6 ) of the connecting hose ( 4 ), the encircling rim has a sharp edge ( 31 ) which adjoins the functional unit so as to be flush therewith. 
     
     
       12. The water-conducting arrangement ( 2 ) as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the functional unit comprises a valve ( 15 ) including a mixer cartridge ( 33 ). 
     
     
       13. A sanitary fitting ( 1 ) comprising the water-conducting arrangement ( 2 ) as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the connecting hose ( 4 ) comprises an outlet hose ( 17 ) that is guided to a water outlet ( 35 ) of the sanitary fitting ( 1 ). 
     
     
       14. The sanitary fitting of  claim 13 , wherein at least one inflow hose of the functional unit includes a hose stem ( 13 ). 
     
     
       15. The water-conducting arrangement of  claim 1 , wherein the functional unit is a valve. 
     
     
       16. The water-conducting arrangement of  claim 1 , wherein the holding lip is configured by thermoplastic forming. 
     
     
       17. The water-conducting arrangement of  claim 4 , wherein the radially acting tie comprises an encircling groove or rib. 
     
     
       18. The water-conducting arrangement of  claim 7 , wherein the support disk is configured as at least one of a stamping, a bent part, a diecast part, a thermoplastics part. 
     
     
       19. The water-conducting arrangement of  claim 7 , wherein the bearing face for the holding lip ( 7 ) has sharp-edged structures, preferably at least one holding claw.
